Backing any ship into a slip in anything other than calm is not easy, nor will it ever be. You only get one run at it, and in a Loch Ness blow, the bow will pay off at the first gust. The only counter is to reverse much faster than sanity would allow.
For me, it's all about a crew of three and lots of
lines. Even with a single
line ashore, it's a totally different game. But alone, in high winds, with an 11 ton ship?.... forget it.
Others no-doubt think otherwise, but they seem to be painting the hull more than we do.
